Battery

I left my parking lights on for 9 hours today... yes my battery died. Not only did my battery die, but my schizophrenic alarm (which arms itself randomly) made some dying sounds and scared the crap out of me. I went to turn it off (as I unknowingly allowed it to drain the last of my battery) the switch promptly broke off in my hand. - And yes, it has a switch. Its a '91. It can get married and join the military.

I accosted a man waiting in his car for a jump, and he assisted me. It's now a truth that Massholes can actually be "unMassholed"... sometimes. Give a grin and raise your eyebrows to the opposite sex and you can probably pull it off.

Only had two dollars in my wallet. Would be in poor taste to offer him such a lowly fee for his chivalry? I thought it might be insulting so I didn't give it to him. It was sort of awkward. Story of my life.

PS, my car doesn't actually have hubcaps.

Earth Hour

Hey guys, don't forget that Earth Hour is tonight at 8:30 pm.

Turn'em off!!

Praise Jesus!

Instead of giving up something for lent, I'm going to start ADDING something fun instead. Not that I'm Catholic, as much as my parents tried their darnedest. I didn't think of this notion until just now, so this year doesn't count since lent is almost over and Jesus will hatch out of his Easter egg/tomb yet again in another couple of weeks. (Is that the metaphor?)

I've abandoned the notion of my soul being everlasting, or existing at all, so its not really a concern of mine that my idea may be considered heresy.

Here are some ideas of what I may add to my life for lent 2010:

Going to South by Southwest or possibly Coachella (whichever one has the best bands) maybe BOTH!!
A new Betsey Johnson dress, or possibly Nanette Lapore
Going to Yellowstone/Yosemite or a ROAD TRIP. Gotta see my great country the USA.
Visiting Portland OR, as long as its not rainy.
Possibly getting a new tattoo that I've been thinking about for the last 4 or so years.


How about going back to school to finish that Bio degree? Eh? Sounds good! Someone give me $40,000 to pay for the tuition it costs for 2 years of PUBLIC school in Massachusetts. Maybe Jesus will tell God to make public school public again. Here's hoping (or praying?).

The Unemployed

Lost my job the other day... but got a new one today!! Take that economy!

i work at a lobster company on the water in narragansett rhode island just a few miles from your family's summer house. i work very hard for not much pay but enjoy a very good quality of life. i get to bring my 2 black labs to work every day, my fishing rods for striper fishing off our unloading dock, etc. 2 summers ago my boss suprised me with a small skiff as a thank you for my hard work and long hours. one of my offshore lobster boat captains gave me a brand new 15 horse outboard he had in storage to put on the boat. the entire port pitched in materials and labor to build a "doggie ramp" and a floating dock to tie the boat up to. everyone was very proud! the boat is just outside my office and during lunch breaks or precious slow periods i take my 2 dogs to a small beach across the way to swim, dig clams and catch fish and just run on the beach. pretty cool job. remember we work hard and long days but we also need to play long and hard. one of the stolen outboards you took was mine. i can not afford to replace it. cops and sazuki have all confirmed serial numbers but now the outboard has been stolen from the police impoundment. bye, bye motor. bye, bye quality of life, bye bye faith in the system and worst of all bye bye to a great daily escape for my 2 dogs and myself. you took much more than a motor, you took away all that we look forward to after a brutal 10/12 hour day of breaking our backs. our spirits are disappointed but not broken. shame on you!

My Title

I wasn't educated about many plants in high school. My first exposure to the word "columbine" was the fated school in Colorado. I identified the word with the shooting event until I found a picture of the flower. My perception of the word was changed from the tragic event that occurred there to a dramatic and beautiful creation of nature.

Daddy, please don't steal my money! plus..cat hair on your black dress and sun in your eyes? try roll on shades!

I've been scouring some gossipy wackiness and have discovered these:



Daddy, please let me save money for college so I don't have to live in the slums anymore! read this. Thanks Perez.

The Best Ever

If we're going to be friends, it's important for you to acknowledge that the Raveonettes are basically the best band ever. I've been pretty psyched on them ever since my darling introduced me to their first album years back.

Things seem to be doing very well for them over the last few years. Sharin Foo even had a baby! (Congrats!)

The Raveonettes are the true essence of cool. If cool were a virtue, (though some may argue that it already is) then Plato would have agreed with my assessment.

The only thing is, I'm pretty selfish when it comes to things that I think are cool. Its wonderful and great and fantastic for them to be growing exponentially in popularity. It also possibly means that people are coming back to life and a new era of music and possibly a new, less annoying, less superficial subculture is dawning. (That would be such a relief!) However... they were mine first!! Dammit! I know you all know what I'm talking about. Like when you wear a cool new style and your best enemy copies you and gets credit for it. Who was there when TT's in Central Square could fit the Boston area fans in there? ME! (and my boyfriend)
I know, I know. Why can't I just support their success? Because I'm jealous and hanging onto anything that credits me as unique. I admit it.

Anyway, Elle magazine's blog has a pretty good interview from them here.

First Sighting of the Robin in the Snow

This is my very first time at even attempting to write a blog. I'm unsure of my writing skills, how to introduce myself, or how my writing is going to be received to whomever comes across it.

I came up with the title of this posting as a sort of metaphor for this first post. Growing up in inland Maine, my family told me that seeing a robin hopping in the snow was how you would know when spring had finally decided to come back to the cold north.

The hopeful feeling that came the first time I saw that robin had deceived me. Another April snowstorm would soon drive us back into our filthy trailer. Eventually, spring would come in its muddy glory - but not easily or quickly.


I decided to write here for a number of reasons. Firstly, I have a whole lot of junk running through my head and expressing it to the discerning public may help me to sort it out. Or maybe, you will all love my posts so much that I'll get 10 zillion clicks a day and make a fortune (somehow... I haven't figured out how that works yet.) Mostly though, I feel like I don't express myself in a way that really shows who I am and how I feel I am. Hopefully, this will help me practice and eventually merge the inside with the outside.
